Starling

Module: fluid-FSI

Category: materialprop

Type string: "Starling"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
kp filtration coefficient 0 []
pv external pressure 0 [P]

Description

The material type for Starling's equation for fluid supply is Starling.

The fluid supply is given by Starling's equation,

\[ \hat{\varphi}^{w}=k_{p}\left(p_{v}-p\right)\,, \]

where \(p\) is the fluid pressure in the biphasic material.

Example:

This example defines a fluid supply material of the Starling type.

<solvent_supply type="Starling">
  <kp>0.001</kp>
  <pv>0.1</pv>
</solvent_supply>
